It is with an extremely heavy heart that the Connecticut State Police announces the line of duty death of Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier #536 of Troop H-Hartford. Today, 5/30 at approximately 2:36 PM, TFC Pelletier was on a traffic stop on I-84 east in Southington, just prior to exit 31.

The evading operator was located shortly thereafter and is currently in custody. TFC Pelletier was a member of 125th Training Troop and a nine year veteran of the Connecticut State Police. TFC Pelletier served the citizens of the state of Connecticut with an unwavering sense of dedication, pride and professionalism, and his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
